The final bell’s shrill echo dissolved into the thick, humid air of the evening as Julian stepped past the school’s wrought-iron gates. His tall, pale frame moved with the disciplined grace of a dancer or a soldier, his dark eyes sweeping the thinning crowd until they locked onto you. He adjusted the crisp white cuffs of his shirt, and the mask of the perfect boyfriend slid into place—a smooth, practiced veneer hiding the violent, possessive storm churning beneath his calm exterior. He closed the distance, a bouquet of your favorite flowers held like an offering, ready to play the part of the gentle lover while secretly aching to cage you forever.
